The product saves us do much time , and helps us get the best out of the IT in infra , it give us insights and recommendations that would take a team of engineers weeks to produce . It gives us peace of mind that the software is managing and reporting and making recommendations while we sleep.

This product has been a great addition to our tools. Moving forward, I can only see us purchasing additional licenses in order to expand the features we are able to use. In my opinion, the more end-to-end monitoring we have from the users to the backend infrastructure, the better we can ensure the environment is stable and will perform to the level that the business expects.

I have not found a better tool for capacity planning my VM environment than Turbonomic. If that is the use case, I would highly recommend. Similarly, if you are looking for automation and VM rightsizing automation I would also highly recommend. For troubleshooting scenarios where deep levels of infrastructure metrics are required, there are better tools available.

Why I use Turbonomic...

We are certainly happy with Turbonomic as a whole and have invested quite a bit of time and effort into learning the ins and outs of the product. We have our reporting setup the way we want it and have gained definite value from these features. I will say though that many products nowadays are offering more native monitoring, reporting, and alerting features which may eventually steer us away from this product.

We've been looking for a product that gives us a complete overview of our VM estate in one easy to read screen. VMTurbo not only does that, but then allows you to fix the issues it highlights from within the product. It has made a huge impact on the way we manage our estate

The product just works so well and nothing has caught up to it. We expected VRealize to catch VMTurbo over the course of the last 18 months and that we would use this product as a stop gap until vmturbo was there. That was not the case and we have determined it still has more functionality and it does things easier.

Not as great since moving from block storage to NFS, no need to move VMs between data stores. High cost to license new host. Up sell on storage integration to better manage our new array.

VMTurbo Operations Manager is simple to set up and use and you see a return on your investment within hours. The product simply works and does a great job of fine tuning your VM Farm which results in saving money.
